Summary: A life-affirming book
Review: As a collector of children's books, it is rare to find one that is life changing. Such is DADDY, UP AND DOWN. Although dealing quite honestly with death, it is life affirming. I plan to add this book to friends' collections and predict it will be useful as it opens communications in one of life's adventures. Thank you, Lila and Anna for making your Daddy proud, for making us all proud.

Summary: A Great Book to Share with Children
Review: For anyone who wants to help a child cope with the saddness, anger, and memories that come with losing a parent, I would recommend this book. While my children have not suffered such a lost, this book has helped them to appreciate the feelings that their friends who have lost a father or mother are having. Very well written and beautifully illustrated. Can help children and adults talk together about their feelings and move forward with their lives. I recommend that you share this book with anyone who is grieving or knows someone who is.

Summary: A Gift from Children to Children of All Ages
Review: This touching, poignant book speaks to the genuine grief and pain felt by children - grief and pain that too often goes unexpressed. Having worked with children for many years, I will use this book to help get the conversation flowing with children facing many kinds of loss. Truthfully, I believe the book will also help adults face their own grief and pain."Daddy, Up and Down" doesn't dodge or hedge the tough questions. With the forthrightness of children, Lila and Anna tell it like it is for them and, in doing so, allow other children (and adults) to find their own words. Another book says, "a little child shall lead them." Lila and Anna lead us all into coping with the loss of one we love too much to lose. An excellent, beautiful book.
